I'm bored of hearing myself say this now, but 12M over 65s in the UK is 20% of the population, plus care workers, hospital staff, families that live together or are the main carer for their older relative - we're talking at least 30% of the population there as a minimum.
Then there are 18M under 20 who are pretty much going on as normal anyway but they will need teachers / lecturers that will be potentially in that vulnerable group.
All this so we can have the pub open, fucks sake man, the vaccine is on the way - it's been proven that lockdowns keep the virus spread from increasing exponentially and that not having them doesn't work. What do you want them to do, just open up?
